Llega a su décima edición Todo Lírica, el ciclo de conciertos que organiza la Concellaría de Cultura compostelana y la Asociación Galega da Lírica nacido con el nombre de Festival de Zarzuela de Santiago y que fue rebautizado hace dos ediciones. Durante la Navidad se celebrarán tres conciertos en el Teatro Principal por el que pasarán un sólido elenco de cantantes que combina experiencia y juventud. La protagonista del concierto de clausura es uno de los valores más en alza en el panorama lírico estatal, la soprano navarra Sabina Puértolas. Su programa comienza con canciones de Granados y Delibes y romanzas de zarzuela de Pablo Luna, Jesús Guridi, José Serrano, Amadeo Vives, Ruperto Chapí y Gerónimo Giménez que incluyen páginas muy populares de títulos como La canción del olvido, Doña Francisquita o El barbero de Sevilla.
Like the 5th of every month, the Municipality of Touro holds its local market, but on this occasion it is devoted especially to the Carnival Festival. A parade featuring the traditional “Xenerais da Ulla” and carnival groups with the festival’s most representative elements.
Declared a Festival of National Tourist Interest, the Stew Festival is a tribute to one of the outstanding dishes of Galician gastronomy. It is held on the Sunday before the Carnival festival and with the passing of the years, it has become one of the main gastronomy festivals in Galicia and even in the Iberian Peninsula. It began in 1968, with the objective of exalting and promoting the town of Lalín as a point of reference in the production of quality meat and excellent farm products.
An event declared a Festival of Galician Tourist Interest that receives an important number of visitors from all over Galicia every year. This festival was one of the first “filloa” (crepe) festivals held in Galicia, being centred on an exclusively Galician product, just like other traditional products accompanying it (honey, chorizo…), although there are similar desserts in other regions and countries. In view of its age, we can determine that it originated as a genuine promotion of this characteristic Entroido (Galician Carnival) product.
The Arzúa Cheese Festival, declared a Festival of Galician Tourist Interest, is held on the first weekend in March.
